Excellent opportunity to experience Egyptian culture

I attended AUC for 2 years and I think that it is one of the best opportunities to see and experience Egyptian and Middle Eastern culture. The academic programs are good quality, the professors are fantastic, and your fellow students are eager to help you adjust to a new culture. Egypt can be a bit difficult for first-time travellers, and AUC helps make that adjustment for first-time visitors to Egypt or the Middle East.

There are a lot of opprotunities for other travel as well, on weekends it's easy to see places like Alexandria, Port Said, Fayyou,, St. Catherine, the Red Sea, etc.

Studying at AUC

Attending the American University in Cairo (AUC) has been an incredibly fulfilling and enriching experience. From the moment I became a part of this esteemed institution, I have been impressed by the quality of education, the supportive community, and the opportunities for personal and academic growth.

The faculty at AUC is outstanding. They are not only highly knowledgeable in their respective fields but also genuinely invested in the success of their students. The professors are approachable, supportive, and passionate about teaching. They encourage critical thinking, foster intellectual curiosity, and provide guidance that extends beyond the classroom. Their dedication to excellence has played a pivotal role in shaping my academic journey.

Incredible living experience in Cairo

I am absolutely happy about the enriching experience of the exchange program in AUC I have lived. I believe all the facilities given by the university are amazing. I also liked how professors deliver their classes in an interactive way. However, the workload during the semester might be heavy. The library looks comfortable for studying and the campus counts with several options for eating. In addition, I also enjoyed orientation days since you can meet a lot of new people and the university gives you a lot of key information.

Amazing semester abroad at AUC

The experience is without any doubt worth trying. I really liked IPSO’s involvement in offering activities for international students and their adaptation to AUC. Orientation days were useful for familiarizing me with life inside the university and provided helpful advice for life in Cairo and Egypt. Moreover, the campus looks amazing. There are also many options for eating and chilling when you need to.
Lastly, student dorms offering is valuable since other universities I have been studying in are not that concerned about this. Overall, it has pros and cons. Living near the university, especially if you have a busy schedule, is priceless. However, bear in mind that going to the city center from New Cairo may take up to 1 hour of driving by car (only one way). In this regard, there are several transportation facilities and the university provides some of them, which is nice!

An experience I won’t forget

I have chosen AUC for its location. Coming from France and having studied there for the main part of my life, I wanted to experience another way of teaching and learn Arabic.
I didn’t expect to have so much fun, interesting learnings and meetings.

The university helps with everything and the diversity of student initiatives, events and all adds a lot to the experience.

AUC’s work in welcoming exchange students is amazing and help in making the transition from you home country smoother. Shout out to Rana and the whole team for their commitment and engagement.

Pros
  • A smooth transition
  • 2 beautiful campuses in Downtown Cairo and New Cairo to experiment different sides of Cairo
  • Sport facilities
Cons
  • Understanding the way registration works can take some time
  • The library can be too noisy

Study abroad AUC

Studying abroad at AUC is such a surreal once in a lifetime experience. The auc is in the most beautiful city of the world (in my humbling opinion) and you walk through layers of history every day. The campus is beautiful in both architecture and spirit. The university is very supportive and guides you through any problems you might have. Trips and field trips organised by AUC are amazing and incredibly fun too! Furthermore, the university has a lot of facilities to get you through the semester

Pros
  • University guides you
  • Great facilities
  • Trips and field trips

Awesome learning experience: Middle Eastern Studies

The learning experience here at that the AUC is like no other. The exposure to global Middle Eastern history and politics is amazing. Special shoutout to Pascal Ghazaleh who's been extra supportive in my topics of interest and pushing me to do my best. Another shoutout to Radwa Wassim for her unconditional support and assistance. Dr Ola for keeping me sane lol. Another shout out to Rana and Dalia from IPSO for their help, support and patience.

The international and local students are a pleasure to know, but I wish I had more time to know them, but then again that's what being a master's student is all about.

Pros
  • learning experience
  • meeting other internationals
  • meeting local students
Cons
  • biased view on Palestine while claiming neutrality from some professors
  • sometimes noisy library
